Popular YouTube streamer Dr Disrespect recently claimed that his EA shadowbanned him and that Twitch is to blame for this most recent action.

Twitch, according to Dr Disrespect, is to blame for the EA shadowban. Dr. Disrespect was banned from the massive streaming platform Twitch in the summer of 2020. Many people have claimed to know why Dr Disrespect was banned from Twitch, but he has never confirmed any rumors, most likely due to the sensitivity of the subject.

Dr Disrespect has been vocal about his outrage at the permanent Twitch ban, despite his inability to discuss the specifics of his ban. The famous streamer initially had no idea why he had been permanently banned from Twitch. Dr Disrespect, on the other hand, informed his fans in August 2021 that he had figured out why Twitch had taken down his channel and that he planned to sue the platform.

Dr Disrespect claimed on November 12th that EA had shadowbanned him. He expressed his dissatisfaction in the video, claiming that the “defamation” from his permanent Twitch ban may have contributed to the EA ban in some way. There is no way to know how the streamer obtained this information, as shadowbanning is typically used to keep people from realizing they’ve been banned in the first place, and neither EA nor Twitch have responded to these allegations. While the EA shadowban does not prevent him from playing Apex Legends or Battlefield 2042, it does hinder his ability to collaborate with the companies and form partnerships.

This isn’t the first time Dr. Disrepect’s Twitch ban has had an impact. He was kicked out of the Call of Duty tournament in February of last year because Twitch was hosting the live stream. Dr. Disrepect went on to express his disappointment at not being able to participate in the Battlefield 2042 launch. He appears to be even more upset about the loss of relationships and connections he built with EA and the developers over the years.

While the impact of Dr. Disrpect’s Twitch ban on his professional relationships is unknown, owing largely to the streamer’s speculation, it’s understandable that details must be kept hidden from the public eye. It’s understandable that a streamer as harsh, popular, and controversial as Dr. Disrespect’s antics would ruffle some feathers. However, it’s understandable that he’d be irritated by the lack of transparency regarding the reasons for the problems with EA. If the truth behind the scenes is ever revealed, only time will tell.
